Provisions of the system integration theory for enterprise by G.B. Kleiner have been analyzed. The hypothesis about the impermanent position of the institutional subsystem relative to the cognitive subsystem in the sandwich pyramid of enterprise and its dependence on the stage of the life cycle has been put forward. The paper presents the results of approbation of application of G.B. Kleiner’s system integration theory for enterprise to the study of innovation-oriented enterprises development processes, as well as their interpretation in terms of the sandwich pyramid from the standpoint of a number of modern concepts of enterprise development management (I. Adizes, P. Senge, and Collins). The hierarchy of enterprise subsystems in the sandwich pyramid, which is characteristic of developing innovation-oriented enterprises and different from the author’s hierarchy, has been substantiated. It has been proved that the institutional subsystem of innovation-oriented enterprises has greater variability than the cognitive one. At the same time, knowledge determines institutions application, and not vice versa. It has been noted that such a hierarchy of subsystems is characteristic of economic systems that implement flexible approaches to project management, such as Agile. The statement that the hierarchy of enterprise subsystems presented by G.B. Kleiner is characteristic primarily for bureaucratic economic systems of hybrid management modes (in V.B. Sirotkin’s terminology) has been substantiated. According to I. Adizes’ life cycle model, ordinary enterprises become such at the stage of “aging” only.

Risk involves identifying several options that the decision-maker can opt for while making a choice either in the direction of risk or reliability. In this approach, risk is defined as the action of the subject which will lead to the loss or guaranteed safety of what has been achieved. As the uncertainty of the external business environment increases for companies, the task of managing risks both individually and as a set of risks becomes more and more relevant. The purpose of this study is to solve the problem of managing multifactorial risks using mathematical methods for determining the optimal risk management trajectories separately for each factor. To determine the optimal risk management trajectories for each factor, a numerical method is used based on the choice of the most effective direction, which is defined as the ratio of risk change to cost change. An information system prototype has been created that can support the management of a set of risks. Approbation of the information system was carried out on an example containing two conceptual risk factors. The proposed prototype builds a three-dimensional risk map by interpolating the risk matrix entered by the risk manager using an additive–multiplicative aggregation procedure, as well as optimal risk management trajectories for all entered risk factors.

The paper is aimed at determining the relationship between personal and organizational values in an innovative company, and the compliance of the basic elements of the organizational culture of an enterprise to the requirements of its innovative development. The main goal of the study is to determine how to improve personnel activity by changing the organizational culture. To achieve the goal of this study, a survey of employees of an innovative Russian company is conducted in order to determine the compliance of the organizational culture as a whole, as well as its main elements (personal and organizational values), to modern business conditions. The main research methods employed are a questionnaire survey, bibliographic analysis, and content analysis. Barrett’s Cultural Values Assessment methodology is selected and adapted to the conditions of active innovative organizations and enterprises in Russia. Based on the application of Barrett’s Cultural Values Assessment methodology, adapted to the specifics of the given company, an assessment of the existing organizational culture is obtained, inconsistencies between the current and desired organizational culture are identified, and recommendations for changing the organizational culture of the company are formulated. It is concluded that organizational culture is an active resource when managing sustainable development, and is part of organizational innovation. A well-grounded and adequate choice of directions and methods for organizational changes is an important factor in achieving business sustainability. The results of the analysis imply the necessity of changing the existing organizational culture of the given company.

The concept of sustainable development is still one of the most topical and debatable. To attain goals set at the UN conference is an objective of the adequate strategic planning in the enterprise work. For enterprises functioning in complicated multi-level social and economic systems this aim requires a new look at the system of indicators. The article studies the system of strategic management of gas industry enterprises. The goal of the research is to build a methodological foundation necessary to implement the concept of green economy in metrics of strategic management of the enterprise. In the process of attaining the set goal the following tasks were resolved: to review key lines of implementing the concept of sustainable development, to substantiate the choice of the green economy concept as a methodological foundation for strategic planning at the gas industry enterprise, by using the correlation analysis to identify the principle indicators of evaluating effectiveness of strategic management. The authors substantiated the use of the green economy concept in the context of setting goals for the low-carbon development of the country. The indicators of estimating ecological effectiveness were adapted to characteristics of sectoral production, the system of social-ecologic and economic indicators was devised, which can be used as indicators of reaching goals of sustainable development in line with strategic planning of the enterprise work.

Sustainable development issues are becoming more and more relevant on the agenda of both global community and regional development, which is reflected in the performance indicators of different regions. However, these indicators need macroanalytical tools to substantiate the parameters of socio-economic, ecological-economic, and socio-ecological components in the region’s sustainable development for low-carbon economy. This article examines the socio-ecological and economic system of indicators used at different levels of the economic system, as well as the methodology for selecting and calculating these indicators to assess the level of sustainable development. The purpose of the study is to develop an assessment methodology for socio-ecological and economic consequences of low-carbon economy for the regions. The operational hypothesis of the study was that socio-ecological and economic situation in the region could be improved by designing a methodology for economic assessment of gas emissions and less gas emission during repairs at the linear pipeline section. The latter can be achieved by generating gas from the repaired section with a portable compressor station. The research shows how to develop a system of indicators aimed at assessing the projects’ effectiveness for sustainable development and the economic model of low-carbon economy. The paper describes the methodology for a comprehensive assessment of the impact of project activities on the regional index of sustainable development. The work originates from studies in sustainable development, socio-economic forecasting of regional development and the application of macroeconomic analysis to assess the performance indicators of the development of socio-economic systems. The methods of index estimates were used to construct a comprehensive indicator of sustainable development, and the method of econometric modeling was applied to assess the reliability of the results and forecasting. The methodological significance of the results lies in the development of a methodology for the economic assessment of emission levels. The approach outlined by the authors and its results can be used by scientists and methodologists in forecasting socio-economic development of regions under sustainable development goals.
